Flame Tattoo Photo #22168

Flame styles and patterns If you like bold energy and color, psychedelic styles are another option. Classic flames use traditional tattoo shapes-bold, curving tongues of fire with clear outlines.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
